Here are some opportunities to offer your input on various civic issues, including River Valley planning, energy retrofits, aquatics programming, and Vision Zero in McKernan.
- June 2023 Mixed Topic Survey — The monthly mixed topic survey from the City of Edmonton seeks feedback on a potential coaching service for those pursuing energy-efficient home renovations and asks for input on preferences for swimming lessons. The deadline to share your thoughts is June 20.
- River Valley Planning Modernization: Phase 3 Survey — The City of Edmonton is inviting input as part of Phase 3 of the River Valley Planning Modernization Project. A What We Heard Report released in April 2022 summarizes Phase 2 of public engagement, which sought to confirm preliminary visions and direction. Input from Phase 3 will help the project team finalize its overall vision, clarify appropriate uses for different parts of the River Valley, identify opportunities for ecological protection, and more. Residents can complete a survey until July 4.
- McKernan Street Lab — The City of Edmonton is exploring a Vision Zero Street Lab in the McKernan neighbourhood, which would install traffic-calming measures. Residents are invited to play an advisory role in the project by taking an online survey or using an interactive mapping tool until July 6.
